Daniel 12
1 [The angel also said to me, ] “After those things happen, the great angel Michael, who protects the [Israeli] people, will appear. Then there will be a time when there will be great troubles/suffering. The troubles will be greater than any troubles/suffering since the nations began. At that time, all of your people whose names have been written in the book [containing the names of those who have eternal life] will be saved.
Mas en aquel tiempo Micael el gran príncipe, que está por los hijos de tu pueblo, se levantará; y será tiempo de angustia, cual nunca fue después que hubo gente hasta entonces: mas en aquel tiempo tu pueblo escapará, es a saber, todos los que se hallaren escritos en el libro.
2 Many of those who have died [EUP] will become alive again. Some of them will live eternally [with God], and some will be eternally shamed/disgraced [in hell]. (questioned)
Y muchos de los que duermen en el polvo de la tierra serán despertados, unos para vida eterna, y otros para vergüenza, y confusión perpetua.
3 Those who were wise will shine as brightly as the sky [is bright when the sun is shining]. And those who have shown to others the way to live righteously will shine forever, like the stars [SIM].
Y los entendidos resplandecerán, como el resplandor del firmamento; y los que enseñan a justicia la multitud, como las estrellas a perpetua eternidad.
4 But as for you, Daniel, close up the scroll [on which you are writing], and seal it [in order that no one can open it] until the end [of the world] is near. [Before that happens, ] many people will travel rapidly here and there, learning more and more [about many things].”
Tú pues, Daniel, cierra las palabras, y sella el libro hasta el tiempo del fin: pasarán muchos, y multiplicarse ha la ciencia.
5 When [that angel finished speaking], I, Daniel, looked up, and suddenly I saw two other [angels]. One was standing on the side of the river [where I was], and one was standing on the other side.
Y yo Daniel miré, y he aquí otros dos que estaban, el uno de esta parte a la orilla del río, y el otro de la otra parte, a la orilla del río.
6 One of them [called to] the other one, who was wearing linen/white clothes, who was now standing further up (OR, above) the river, “How long will it be until these amazing/frightening events end?”
Y uno dijo al varón vestido de lienzos, que estaba sobre las aguas del río: ¿Cuándo será el fin de las maravillas?
7 The angel who was on the other side of (OR, above) the river raised his hands toward the sky, and solemnly promised, with the authority [MTY] of God, who lives forever, “It will be three and a half years. All these things will end after God’s people stop fighting against those who (persecute/cause trouble for/cause suffering for) them.”
Y oí al varón vestido de lienzos que estaba sobre las aguas del río, el cual alzó su diestra y su siniestra al cielo, y juró por el viviente en los siglos: Que por tiempo, tiempos, y la mitad; y cuando se acabare el esparcimiento del escuadrón del pueblo santo, todas estas cosas serán cumplidas.
8 I heard [what he said], but I did not understand it. So I asked, “Sir, what will be the result when these things end?”
Y yo oí, mas no entendí; y dije: Señor mío, ¿qué es el cumplimiento de estas cosas?
9 He replied, “Daniel, you must leave now. [I cannot answer your question] because what it means must (be kept secret/not be revealed) [DOU] until the time when everything ends.
Y dijo: Anda, Daniel, que estas palabras serán cerradas y selladas hasta el tiempo del cumplimiento.
10 Many people will thoroughly purify their inner beings [DOU]. But wicked people will not understand these things. They will continue to be wicked. Only those who are wise will understand [these things].
Muchos serán limpios, y emblanquecidos, y purgados; e impíos se empeorarán, y ninguno de los impíos entenderá: mas entenderán los entendidos.
11 [But I can tell you that before everything ends, ] there will be 1,290 days, from the time that people are prevented from offering sacrifices each day, that is, from the time that the abominable/disgusting thing is put in the temple.
Mas desde el tiempo que fuere quitado el continuo sacrificio, hasta la abominación espantosa, habrá mil y doscientos y noventa días.
12 God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
Bienaventurado el que esperare, y llegare hasta mil y trescientos y treinta y cinco días.
13 So [now I say] to you, continue to faithfully [trust God] until [your life on earth] ends. You will die [EUP], but when everything ends, you will receive your reward [from God].”
Y tú irás a el fin, y reposarás, y levantarte has en tu suerte al fin de los días.
